Zoom Emails Often Blocked by Spam Systems -- High Administrative Burden

I use ‘Registration’ events, so Zoom sends out unique links to every participant.

I am incurring a lot of admin time dealing with corporate clients who say they have never received the Zoom link. From conversations with many of them, this is not a case of them not looking in their spam/junk folder. The emails are being blocked by corporate mail filters. I end up sending their links by copying them from the Zoom interface and using my own email address to send them. This works -- but it’s extremely time consuming and tedious. Currently, I am having to manually send links to approximately 20% of registered participants.

From my own experience, I know that Zoom is being used by spammers to invite me to meetings that I have never signed-up for. Presumably, it’s this usage which is causing the spammer reputation of Zoom’s emails and so causing them to be blocked by an increasing number of systems.

An ideal fix to this would be to send emails using my own address. This could be achieved either by allowing me to enter my own SMTP details into Zoom and have them send my invitations via my own system -- giving those emails the protection of my own mail server’s reputation, DKIM signature, and SPF settings. Alternatively, by Zoom sending using my domain name and adding unique DKIM signatures to Zoom’s emails while giving us the DKIM key and SPF settings to add to our domains, like email service providers have been doing for many years. I also believe that WebinarJam does this.

The administrative burden of using Zoom is reaching a point where I am likely to look for an alternative provider.

hi ​@ohc-platinum 

Yes this is an issue.

When all the registration emails are sent from Zoom and lots of Zoom emails are going to a corporates, they can be blacklisted. I have even seen suggestions that some Microsoft based sites try and block zoom to get people to switch to teams.

Yes among all the emails sent out, there are some spammers that try to hide behind zoom to send out spam, as there are for many other large companies that are sending out lots of transaction emails.

You have made some interesting suggests. You can send out the invites yoursefl.

All the best

Hi ​@ExpertswhoJohn,

Thanks for your input. I’m not sure what you mean by “You can send out the invites yoursefl.” If I’m missing something, I’d really appreciate your help.

I mentioned that I use registration meetings. If I register 100 people, Zoom creates 100 different (unique) links. It’s not just a case of simply BCCing an identical link to 100 different addresses. I must go into Zoom’s UI and … manually … copy … every … single … link … and paste each one into an individually created blank email and add the attendee’s email address. Doing that 100 times would be astoundingly time consuming. 

Is that what you are suggesting I do or is there a quicker method that I’ve missed please?

hi ​@ohc-platinum ,

What I mean you send invites out yourself is that if you are using a CRM, then you can use Zapier or other tools to talk between your CRM and Zoom to make custom messages and emails. It is possible to make Zapier do this automatically or you can export and import lists between Zoom and your email software.

From your reply it would seem that you are not using any software like that?
I certainly am not in favor of sending emails by BCC, they are very often seen as spam an d blocked too.
all the best
